The science has never been, is not currently, and never will be on the side of allowing previously male athletes to compete with women.
Last week, the annual Tour of the Gila cycling race was held in New Mexico. The winner of the women’s division in the grueling, five-stage competition was 27-year-old Austin Killips. That immediately prompted an uproar because Killips is a man. (He’s variously described as a trans woman or a “male-bodied athlete.”) The governing body for competitive cycling is the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and the organization originally defended its policy that allowed Killips to dominate the female competitors. They said that the UCI “continues to follow the evolution of scientific findings and may change its rules in the future as scientific knowledge evolves.”
“The UCI’s objective remains the same: to take into consideration, in the context of the evolution of our society, the desire of transgender athletes to practice cycling,” the organization reportedly said. “The UCI also hears the voices of female athletes and their concerns about an equal playing field for competitors, and will take into account all elements, including the evolution of scientific knowledge.”
Inga Thompson, the Olympic champion cyclist (and an actual woman) went on to tell reporters that there are more than 50 trans cyclists currently competing and some women are just quietly walking away. “Why bother if it’s not fair?”
Why bother indeed? Keep in mind that the women's NCAA swim champion in two different events was a 6' 4" person with a penis. Lia Thomas won one of those events by 38 seconds. Does anyone really expect women to compete with a 6' 4" biological male who has been through male puberty and had testosterone running through their bodies up until a couple of years ago?
Whether it is track and field, swimming, or now bicycling, it seems that biological men are starting to dominate the individual women's sports. Sure, they may never compete on the balance beam or in ice dancing, but when it comes to running, jumping, swimming, or biking, they are scientifically going to have an advantage. This is not evolving science folks. This is an evolution of who is willing to accept actual science.
We have not seen as much of this in team sports, yet. I suspect you will start to see more trans-women competing in sports like basketball, hockey, soccer and such. The sports where both sexes have opportunities for the same sport. It is only a matter of time before you have a 6' 7" man playing basketball against women dominating to the degree where it seems unfair. But this is a little less obvious than a sport like bicycling where the times are objective and out there for everyone to see.
Either way... science (evolving or otherwise) is not going to be on the side of Trans- athletes competing with their chosen sex rather than their biological sex. Reason is pretty dang simple. Biology does not change as a science just because activists and politicians demand it so. You can interpret it incorrectly all you want, but that doesn't mean that the actual science is going to "evolve". Only your politicizing of the science will evolve.
I remember when James Woods was a prolific conservative Twitter user. He was basically silenced by the mob for some time and only wrote about Hollywood and personal things. Now he is a little of both. But an interesting intelligent guy.
James Woods on Twitter: "I could watch this for hours."
Prepubescent girls can certainly compete against prepubescent boys. When my son was playing hockey in a private league here in Minnesota (a virtual who's who of top rated hockey players) he played with several girls... and this was a checking league. He was around 12-14 when he played in that league. Some of the girls were top players on the teams. I saw one who scored more than one goal on a vicious slap shot from outside the blue line. I am guessing she is playing college hockey somewhere today.
But when he came back to association (school related) hockey - he was in high school and the girls no longer competed. I think puberty is the separation time frame.
Funny how we're not seeing biological females lining up to compete against males. Gee, I wonder why.
